My Body Challenge – Day 6

The Challenge

It’s Day 6 of the “My Body Challenge”. Feeling good this morning? Let’s go!

As every day from now on: don’t forget your large glass of water (ideally with lemon) and your cold shower (explained on Day 4).

For breakfast: A bowl of muesli or unsweetened cereal + a banana + a freshly squeezed orange juice.

For dinner, we suggest the recipe for tofu and vegetable loaf.

Ingredients for 4 servings:
300 g tofu
200 ml soy milk
1 egg
2 carrots
1 bell pepper
1 onion
1 sprig of parsley
1 tsp ground ginger
1 pinch of ground nutmeg
Salt, pepper

Method:
Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
Peel the carrots and dice them. Peel and finely chop the onion.
Wash the bell pepper, remove the seeds and white membranes, and cut into small cubes.
In a frying pan, sauté the onion until translucent. Add the vegetables (bell pepper and carrots) and cook for ten minutes.
Blend the tofu with the whole egg, soy milk, herbs and spices. Season with salt and pepper.
Mix the vegetables into the tofu mixture, then pour everything into a non-stick loaf tin.
Bake for 40 minutes.

Ready for today’s workout?

Did you know that jump rope is a full-body workout?

Here are 8 great reasons to pick up a jump rope:

1. Jump rope engages every muscle in your body. It’s a complete full-body workout.
2. Jump rope is best practised in sets of 2 to 3 minutes over a total session of 15 to 30 minutes. Between each set, roughly 20-second rest periods allow your body to adapt to the repetitive impact and catch its breath.
3. During a jump rope session, your legs work hard. The result: stronger calves and thighs. Beyond the legs, this activity also engages the upper body — every jump calls for core engagement.
4. Regular jump rope training therefore tones your legs, back and abs.
5. Jump rope is best practised regularly.
6. Did you know that 15 minutes of jump rope has the same effect on the body as 30 minutes of jogging or 45 minutes of skiing? It’s far more demanding than it looks — and keeping it up for 15 minutes straight is no easy feat 🙂
7. This exercise improves coordination, timing and agility, and builds endurance.
8. You can take your jump rope anywhere!

Convinced? Jump rope for 3 minutes without stopping!

Remember to control your breathing and drink water after every workout.

CelluBlue

Do you have a CelluBlue? Have you discovered our CelluBlue anti-cellulite cup?

This little accessory makes it easy to practise the palper-rouler massage technique.

Here is a feature from M6 explaining how it works:

IMPORTANT NOTE: The challenge is and will always be 100% free, with no purchase required.
CelluBlue will be used in a few days for certain exercises, but a manual method (slightly longer) will always be offered as an alternative.
Although CelluBlue is very affordable, we want the challenge to be accessible to everyone, regardless of budget.

Extra

Are you familiar with the palper-rouler technique?
It is a manual massage technique.
The palper-rouler will be one of the key elements of our challenge in the coming days and should be practised daily — if you have a little extra time, start getting familiar with this technique to get ahead.

We’ll show you two ways to do the palper-rouler: with your CelluBlue or with your hands.
